that is a great song. so what's the story, is there a full album in the works? someone please enlighten the dumb yankee..... Here, this might refresh your memory... Billboard: Campbell Croons With Lanegan, Iha
Former Belle & Sebastian principal Isobel Campbell is set to unveil two new albums in the coming months. "Ballad of the Broken Seas" is a collaboration with Mark Lanegan that Campbell describes as in the style of Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood's albums from the '60s, while the more folk-oriented "Over the Wheat and the Barley" features Smashing Pumpkins/A Perfect Circle guitarist James Iha and former Soup Dragons member Jim McCulloch.
After being introduced by a mutual friend, Campbell and Lanegan quickly began collaborating on "Broken Seas" by mailing tracks back and forth from Glasgow to Los Angeles. Campbell says she is hoping to come to the States in the near future so she and Lanegan tweak a few selections, but that the album is mostly finished.
"His voice is rough and a lot of people say mine is angelic," Campbell says of Lanegan. "It's the two sides of the coin, really. That's how we both always looked at it. It's very unlikely. It's a very feminine/masculine thing as well."
As for the sound of "Broken Seas," which features a "quite nasty" cover of Hank Williams' "Ramblin' Man" that Campbell says would fit well in a Quentin Tarantino movie, the artist offers, "I was going for an old-school kind of approach. I'd been listening a lot to the 'American Recordings' by Johnny Cash and I'm a huge, huge fan of Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra. It's kind of sun-bleached and psychedelic, with a little bit of folk or country."
"Over the Wheat and the Barley," however, is much more folk-centric, an approach Campbell says was an outgrowth of the orchestral nature of her 2003 album "Amorino." "There's some orchestral stuff on the Mark album, but on ['Barley'], we ditched it and stripped it back. We kept it really simple," she says.
Campbell is negotiating with a variety of labels for the release of both discs in the hope of having them available this year. She says she's also "really keen to get traveling again" and play shows in support of them.
In addition, she has recorded three songs for an EP with the Vaselines' Eugene Kelly, one of which features Iha. Campbell describes another track, "Renaissance Park Hotel," as "psychedelic and hazy; kind of baroque pop," while a third selection is "like a petty argument being made into a song."
Campbell admits that while she doesn't revisit her past Belle & Sebastian work too often, she participated in interviews for a forthcoming book about the group. "That was kind of bizarre," she says. "I was forwarded the rough copy and I read it, and it was a lot of memories. But it's all good."

Has anyone ever heard the Soundtrack to the film 'In the Name of the Father'? Theres a track of the same name on there by Bono & a bloke called Gavin Friday. Friday's vocal style on it reminds me of Lanegans on this track. Check it out if you get the chance (Even if it does mean listening to Bono)

*Fairly lengthy pop-triv follows*
Gavin Friday is an old mate of Bono's, and former frontman of The Virgin Prunes (the guitarist of which is U2 guitarist The Edge's brother), 1980s avant-garde new-wave something-or-other types kind of but not exactly like Echo & the Bunnymen and The Birthday Party whose albums are still fairly readily available for those who like that sort of thing. Also of note (again, for those who like that sort of thing) is that Gavin Friday's little brother adorns the cover of U2's War album, as well as some other EP whose name escapes me.
So there you have it.

Cheers, i'll try and find some Prunes tracks. I've been a Bunnymen fan for years so that alone has sold them to me

Hey guys - sorry, I had to remove the posts with the links to this song, as apparently it was NOT intended for release. I know everyone on this board knows my position on the posting of unreleased tracks, etc., and I understand this was on the radio, so how was anyone to know. Apparently the radio guy made a very large mistake in playing it.
Anyhow, I've been asked to remove the links, so I have - please respect the wishes of the folks who didn't mean for this to get out at all, and don't post them again. I never even got to hear it myself, I'm just doing as asked.

HYPE...gotta love it.
The song will be my own little secret but I have to say that I wouldn't be going out to buy the forthcoming album on its first day of release without hearing that song first...probably would have taken me a month or two...if not for Radio 1. So, if Im any indication the royalties will be in the kitty sooner rather than later...that should be a good thing.
Hey Foz, when you say Autumn ... what month/s?

Oops. Shall take it out of my Soulseek share then.
Still can't wait for the full album though. I've got the feeling that it's going to be fantastic.

i might add that aside from the heavy hazelwood/sinatra feel, its also riffing off pepper by the butthole surfers. but i still like it.
and i think they should do a cover of "some velvet morning" just to show how cool they are.
